Players Perceptions on a Scene

  This thought and concept is a very scrutinised topic and the effect is only really carried out in the sub-conscious of the player unless they apply the utmost scrutiny to the mechanics and ideas behind Evergo.  There are some scenes in Evergo that we want to really have an effect on the player. The first scenes of the game are very important as it sets the players expectations and feel for the game ahead, so some deep ideas and mechanics need to be thought through to influence the players perception of the scene ahead of them, specifically when they...

Playing Evergo with an xbox controller!

Modified the code only slightly to test out what it would be like to play the game with an xbox controller. No, the game wasn't compiled to an xbox (i just used a USB xbox controller on a pc). To be honest it felt kinda cool playing our own game with an xbox controller, it's a different feeling because an xbox controller is only related to gaming whereas a mouse and keyboard is used everyday for anything and everything. It sort of made the game feel more "exclusive", and that we are actually making a game!Hardest thing to explain...-Aa...

A message from the scripter!

My personal journey so far, as an indie game developer has been exciting, tiresome yet fun.

I think the hardest part about creating evergo so far has been trying to pack...

Thoughts on Provoking Fear Through Monsters and Phobias

  By now, it has gotten to the stage where we have needed to concern our self's with involving monsters in the game. Provoking fear, being the main purpose of involving monsters, can become a matter involved rather deeply with emotions and phobias.   Monologophobia (which can refer to repetition/the same) is a phobia that, along with many other phobias, can be integrated quiet well into the game and used in context of the idea of pursuit from the monsters. Monologophobia is a fear that I used specifically in one of the basements as the basement is like a small maze,...
